Chapter 1171 - A Moment Of Prayer
🕑 Added 2025-07-02 11:27:49 +0000 UTC“They finally had it in stock?” Keerla asked with excitement as Solana walked into the living room holding a large bottle in her hand.
“Just got in a new shipment last night,” Solana said with a smile as she put the bottle of oil-like substance down on the table.
Keerla rushed over and opened it up to inspect its contents. The smell alone gave her high hope, and a quick Identify confirmed it was indeed some good stuff. “Yes! There should be enough here to make at least twenty strings.”
“So two bows,” Solana teased her partner.
“Hey, I’ve gotten more consistent!” Keerla mumbled. “Besides, the last batch of wood was shit compared to what I’m working with now.”
“I’m just saying, better at least make one bow or we’ll have to return to a Hunting Ground to get more Credits,” Solana said.
“We’re already running low again!?” Keerla exclaimed. “We’ve barely just gotten back from our last hunting trip. How can we already be low on funds?”
Solana just looked at Keerla with a raised eyebrow, her eyes not meeting her partner’s but instead directed at the necklace around her neck.
Keerla noticed and looked down at the latest major purchase of their household.
“Oh, yeah.”
“Yeah,” Solana chuckled, shaking her head. “On the positive side, the vice-head druid at work is recruiting for a new project, and I think I have a solid chance at qualifying.”
“If you aren’t qualified, who is?” Keerla said proudly. “Especially after our recent hunting trip.”
Solana just smiled, though she did look a little concerned. Keerla, on the other hand, wasn’t worried, even if she maybe should be.
Their latest trip to a Hunting Ground had been their most adventurous yet. Finding themselves fighting enemies they weren’t confident in beating wasn’t anything new, and getting assistance from other hunters while in a pinch also wasn’t that odd.
However, for it to turn out that the one who’d come to your assistance was the Chosen of a Primordial, now that was certainly something they hadn’t experienced before. It was the kind of event that both Keerla and Solana wouldn’t have been able to answer whether it was good or bad before it happened, as such a hypothetical was just too silly to even consider.
Even now, they couldn’t entirely agree if that encounter had been positive or negative.
Keerla thought it was positive. After that encounter, the two of them had noticed a growth spurt, resulting in both of them getting more levels, Records, and even a skill upgrade for each of them. Even such a small meeting with the Chosen had a significant impact on their lives.
Perhaps too big of an impact, which was why Solana was worried.
The Chosen of the Malefic Viper was likely the most talked about mortal Chosen at the current time due to everything he’d been up to. His simply being the Chosen of the Malefic Viper and seemingly involved with the return of the Primordial was already enough to make people curious about him, but his subsequent actions had only heightened interest.
He was no longer just famous for his connection to the Viper, but known as the top of the all-time Leaderboards of Nevermore and the Harbinger of Primeval Origins, meaning that even without his Patron, even gods would bother to take notice.
It was a given that an encounter with someone like that would have an impact on their Records, and a positive one in most cases, as they had met as allies. However, their meeting hadn’t just been the two of them briefly encountering the Chosen before splitting up.
Because before they parted, a promise had been made, which had sown a seed of karma. One that Solana was afraid would haunt them or bring about something bad.
They owed the Chosen of the Malefic Viper a favor, something both of them had recognized. Usually, making a promise like that to another C-grade was just something one casually did, but things changed when it involved someone of the Chosen’s caliber.
“Look, I know you’re worried, but you really don’t have to be,” Keerla said with a smile.
“Such a karmic debt isn’t good for us,” Solana insisted. “We owe a debt, and in order to repay it, we need to give something of value. What do we own that the Chosen of the Malefic Viper would value? What could we possibly provide that can in any way compare to him helping us out of a situation that could have resulted in our deaths?”
“Nothing,” Keerla said, shaking her head. “Besides, we only promised dinner.”
“A vague promise made to the Chosen of a Primordial known for consuming powerful treasures, and a member of the Order of the Malefic Viper, where offering rare and exotic poisons to dinner guests is only considered polite,” Solana sighed. “What if his version of a ‘mean dinner’ is some mythical rarity poison we couldn’t afford even if we sold ourselves into slavery?”
“You’re such a doomer sometimes,“ Keerla said, trying to calm the dryad down. “From our little encounter, he seemed like a decent guy, right? I don’t think he would want to take advantage of us just because we foolishly made a promise without knowing who he really was. Heck, he probably just finds it amusing.”
“Or, alternatively, he was just playing around by hiding his true identity and will find it equally as fun to mess with two stupid members of the Pantheon of Life who made a misguided promise,” Solana sighed.
“Look, do we even need to rehash this same conversation again?” Keerla sighed. “We haven’t heard anything yet from the Chosen, have we? Isn’t it more likely than any of our other speculation that he never took the promise serious in the first place? If he forgets or doesn’t care about us repaying the favor, nothing happens. I’m sure that sometime in the future we will look back at this time and laugh at how nervous you were.”
Solana looked a bit calmer as she let out a deep breath. “You know I worry, but you’re probably right.”
“Duh, of course I’m right! I tend to be, don’t I?” Keerla said as she went over and put her hands around her partner. “Now, speaking of promises, I do believe someone deserves a reward for finally helping find that damn oil.”
“It was really hard to get,” Solana smiled in response, but before anything more could happen... Keerla felt something from within her spatial storage that made her stop.
“Just a second... someone is reaching out to me through my communication token,” Keerla said, pulling away, a bit perplexed about who could be contacting her using the token.
Taking out the token, she froze up entirely and just stood there.
Solana looked at her with concern for a moment before realization dawned on her. “Is... is it...?”
Keerla looked at her partner as an awkward smile marred her face. “I guess he didn’t forget?”
Solana just held her face in her hands. “Please tell me he isn’t-“
Keerla just continued to stand there before lowering her hands, cold sweat running down her back. “I... eh... we’re having guests next week?”
“Guests? As in multiple?” Solana’s eyes opened wide.
“Yeah... he said he’s bringing a date...”
The two of them just looked at each other for several seconds before Keerla tried to smile and lighten the mood. “Hey... think about it this way. If we get out of this in one piece, we will have the greatest story ever to tell friends and family and a whole bunch of Records to boot!”
“We need to report this to our Patrons,” Solana said in a severe tone. “Sooner rather than later.”
Keerla’s eyes opened wide at having not even considered that option. “Of course! I’m sure they’ll want to know, considering the Chosen’s position, and maybe they’ll even provide some advice to make things go smoothly!”
“Exactly,” Solana said as she practically dragged Keerla out of the house toward the local altar garden to pray at the statues. Solana had little hope of her Patron, Yggdrasil, actually providing any advice, while Keerla thought there was a decent chance her Patron would at least answer.
As for whether Artemis would provide any advice, that was yet to be seen, as both of them honestly believed it was far more likely that neither god would bother to get involved in mortal affairs, making this more about reporting to their Patrons than seeking any actual help.
--
“A date has been set!” Jake said with a happy smile as he spoke out loud to the empty room, where the only one listening in was that creep, Villy. “I guess we got lucky and caught the two of them at a good time, considering they had time to accommodate us as soon as next week!”
Jake was looking forward to his first official date and was pleasantly surprised that Keerla answered so quickly. He was even more surprised at how quickly she agreed to host him and Artemis. Granted, the high elf hunter had been a little stiff in her speech, but Jake understood that people sometimes could get a little nervous around him due to his status.
He was also fully aware that the two of them were probably panicking a bit at Jake suddenly reaching out and them now having to prepare, but most of his guilt over that was washed away by the knowledge that this would ultimately turn out to be a good thing for the two of them.
Despite the rumors that circulated around him, Jake knew how to be a proper guest and was genuinely thankful that the two would host him. He was also looking forward to learning more about how the people in the Pantheon of Life lived and to seeing some more modest areas of the territory.
After quickly checking that Jake had some proper casual clothes to wear for the following week, he went down to the cellar cavern area to calm poor Jasper. Sadly for him, the Warpsnatcher had taken the opportunity to slip away after Artemis also left by quickly jumping to the gateway and using it to go plunder some more loot for his piles.
Instead, Jake just went down there to check on the ritual circle and improve upon it a little here and there. After that, he experimented some more with his new Invocation skill before it was time to meditate and go over the knowledge he’d gained from the First Sage once more. After being fully recovered, Jake quickly checked in on the Soulflame Cradle and infused some more mana into it before he went back to experimenting with Invocation once more.
About two days passed with Jake being all alone in his palace – alright, the King was also there, but he hadn’t even moved since he entered meditation. After the whole second day passed, Jake began to get a little worried that Artemis wouldn’t make it back in time for the dinner date, but luckily for him, she returned as the third day had just begun.
Jake had been in the middle of testing out Invocation on Scales of the Malefic Viper as she appeared in the living room above, making Jake instantly abandon his experiment and quickly make his way up to her again.
Artemis naturally saw him coming, but hadn’t taken a seat, indicating to Jake she didn’t plan on staying very long. Entering the living room, Jake looked at her inquisitively as she started speaking in an amused voice.
“Hey, I want you to guess who reached out to me with a prayer not long after the two of us got invited to that dinner,” Artemis said with a wry smile.
“I wanna guess Keerla, since she was the one you’d blessed?” Jake asked.
“Exactly,” Artemis chuckled. “I do get my fair share of prayers, but hers was certainly one of the most unique ones. Poor girl was nervous out of her mind, but I managed to calm her somewhat.”
“That’s good,” Jake said, not wanting the two dinner hosts to be bundles of anxiety. Artemis speaking of Blessings and prayers did get him curious, though. “Say, how often do you get prayers? And how often do you answer?”
“I get a lot of prayers... more than I bother to count every day,” Artemis said with a shrug. “Most of them don’t even ask for a response but are just said to grant the one praying courage, forgiveness, or to merely pay reverence.”
“How about the ones who do ask for a response?”
“Depends on the question and who’s asking,” Artemis answered. “If it’s one of the few people with a Divine Blessing or my Chosen, I answer every time. Generally, the lower the level of the Blessing, the less likely I am to answer. Additionally, the answer I can provide becomes less clear the lower the Blessing. In Keerla’s case, seeing as she only has a Lesser Blessing, I couldn’t directly convey words but only a feeling of calmness and assurance.”
“I see,” Jake muttered. “What kind of thing do people usually ask about? I reckon it’s quite different from my interactions with the Viper.”
“Oh, they most certainly are,” Artemis chuckled. “But usually, they just ask for assurance and confirmation before making important decisions. Many pray before battling a powerful foe, sometimes questioning if they should even do so.”
“Praying with the hope that your god will tell you not to fight sounds like something someone who’s just looking for an excuse to back out of a fight would do,” Jake scoffed.
“It often is,” Artemis answered casually. “But those kinds of prayers are better than final requests. Those prayers are definitely the worst. When a mortal is lethally injured, praying as death is rapidly approaching, all you, as a god, can do is offer them some level of comfort. Many pray, asking for help or more power to overcome death, and it’s not a nice feeling knowing that it’s not something you can do. Even if I decide to give someone at death’s door my Blessing, what would that help?”
“Have you ever answered a prayer by descending directly to help the one praying?” Jake asked curiously.
“In a combat scenario? No. I have in a few other instances, but only because other gods are also involved in the matter,” Artemis said. “But such a thing is very rare. Usually, gods don’t interfere directly with mortal matters.”
Jake nodded along slowly, Villy having already talked about that several times in the past.
“A bit of a topic change, but how did you come by Blessing Keerla? How do you even decide who to bless?” Jake continued to ask questions relentlessly to satisfy his curiosity.
“I didn’t bless her personally,” Artemis shook her head, entertaining Jake.
“You had a priest do it?”
“I don’t have priests, at least not the traditional kind,” the Godqueen chuckled. “I do have people with religious Paths who can give out my Blessings with my permission, though. Mostly, these are not only representing myself, but all the gods of the Pantheon of Life. That’s how Keerla got hers. She was deemed talented enough to have it granted, thus she was given it. For Lesser Blessings, I don’t personally review every individual, as that would simply be a waste of time and effort. I check every person with Divine Blessings, of course, as well as many of those with Major and even Greater Blessings.”
“I’m learning a lot today,” Jake smiled.
“Glad to hear it,” Artemis shook her head. “Speaking of Blessings, I have a feeling Keerla will be in for an upgrade soon, as the Records she’ll get through her direct yet brief interaction with you will definitely strengthen her potential.”
“I’d wager that a direct interaction with her Patron in disguise will also positively affect her,” Jake smiled.
“Also a possibility for sure,” Artemis chuckled. “Now, my brief amusement over getting a prayer about an upcoming dinner aside, I come directly from Nature’s Attendant’s side.”
“Oh?” Jake said, totally fine with the extreme change of subject. “Has anything changed with the bow ritual?”
“You could say that. At least my work there is done, and Nature’s Attendant also seems to be wrapping things up,” Artemis said in a casual voice.
Jake was confused about what she meant by that until a thought struck him. “Do you mean that...?”
“The problem is, without the future owner of the bow, we can’t finish the ritual,” Artemis said in a teasing voice. “To clarify, we’re not in a rush to finish it, so if you want to wait a few days and-“
“Artemis. Don’t even joke about keeping a man away from his new bow,” Jake interrupted the Godqueen.
“I just gave the option,” Artemis chuckled as space magic wrapped up the two of them.
Finally... it was bow time.

Or, she could have been hiding this from Jake to surprise him
Troy Telford
Plot inconsistency! In the next chapters Jake is served mushroom soup because Keerla said her goddess, Artemis, advised her to. But in this chapter she says with...."Lesser Blessing, I couldn’t directly convey words but only a feeling of calmness and assurance.” So...since the mushroom soup is so awesome, this line needs to change.
Chloe
Bow time > time for a Bud. Tyftc
ABTelford
Fun cute chapter. Great in the moment.
Brian Mcglinchey
This would be the absolute best thing to happen.
Trumangolorian
Honestly excited for this dinner date. But that is very interesting to learn about how blessings and prayers work from a gods perspective outside of Villy. Tyftc
Kristoffer
Like this?
Jordan Rogers
Funny random thought, Jake becomes a god, gets the heretical followers, people get skills like the kick of doom, and kick of other foot of doom
brjenness
Hee hee... just thought up a villy trick. Reply to comments in the morning so people receive notifications ans rush to their phone thinking the chapter dropped.
brjenness
Shitter thought...Artemis and jake leave the dinner proud that they didn't expose her identity and we switch back to keerla who knew all along and debated if Jake knew.
brjenness
I think so. New experience for her. New records...etc... I think succubus coming too and something hilarious will happen.
TyranT-Rex
I wonder if Jake is going to also bring Artemis as a plus 1 for the Demon wedding.
brjenness
Ohhh...keerla returned from praying confused. When asked why, she explained... When I prayed Artemis sent a feeling of calmness but it felt weird....almost aroused. I hope she doesn't expect us to do that with the chosen.

It’s time to meet David Bowie
WhiteLeeopard
Neil actually kept on progressing I think, him and one other of his party (the one who could detect lies), only 3 settled down. It's been a while since seeing sultan though
E H B
You know we got a little section on casper becomeing a friendly ghoust king and it made me think on others we haven't seen in a while i don't think we have seen Willam in long time or his therapist i know Neil and his party are living normal lifestyle but haven't seen them or Reika especially because reika and Jake had good chemistry as lab partners or the sultan i know Jake has unlimited resources from the viper so the sultan isn't strictly needed but still be nice to see them doing there own thing
Michael Crawford
Freaking FINALLY IT'S BOW TIME!!!!!! BOOOOW TIME! BOOOOW TIME! BOOOOOW TIIIIIIIIIIIIME! (IN ROBERT FREEMAN VOICE)
brjenness
the elf starts praying and Artemis cell phone rings.
Cody K
That would be pretty funny.
David W. Baijense
I'm not sure if "doomer" would fit in their vocabulary🤔
brjenness
I haven't seen it mentioned, but there is a chance Jake helps jaspervwith the ritual. the results are awesome and Jasper says, "thanks" and then disappears forever because too many scary people hang out around jake.
Nano
The world building is subtle but so huge in this chapter you get to see a glimpse into the lives of regular people in the multiverse
brjenness
found the best one liner in the series this morning. fallen king in nevermore city explaining the danger of El Hakan to silphie... imagine if he convinced you the smelly pot would be the perfect nest.
jobe matula
let's effing gooooo!
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Ty Cooper
They faint as the reaction
Avery Howell
Sooooo.... When is Jake gonna start calling her Artie?
Lucy
Lmao imagine if they cook mushrooms as a dish for dinner 😭 sooo looking forwards to the dinner date.. imagine if they start talking about bows and Jake whips out his new bow and is like "this one was made by your patron & your patron's patron, isnt that sick?? haha" and Artemis jumps in like "oh yea, we ofc did an exceptional job" and they're just like 😱
Xander
TFTC :) Come on Bow-y McBowface Suggested edits: Small issue with the framing of the chapter. Are we supposed to think its a constant worry for them, why would the pair be talking exactly now about the chosen and the dinner date? right at the moment when he decides to contact them after 2+ years of silence. Maybe put in a sentence about "as the months passed the worry also passed as..." before Jake contacts them? Otherwise, to me at least, it seems a little janky and forced. "at the necklace *around her neck*." unnecessary and repetitive. Suggest "she was wearing" because where else would you wear a necklace? :D "the vice-head druid at" I know its a semi-usual designation I just giggled at "vice-head" being like "crimsoneye" describing a dude with some kind of clamp for a skull :D you could use "deputy head" or "assistant-chief" if you wanted to change or maybe even "the second-in-command" entirely up to you. " that *both Keerla and Solana wouldn’t have been able to answer whether it was good or bad* before it happened" clunky wording. Maybe "that neither would have been able to assess before..." or similar instead? "The Chosen of the Malefic Viper was likely the most talked about *mortal* Chosen " arent all chosen mortals? You stop being a chosen when you ascend to godhood right, and gods are the only immortals. "meaning that even without his Patron, *even* gods would *bother to* take notice" repetition and clunky wording. Suggest ditching the bits in stars. "After *quickly checking that Jake* had some proper casual clothes to wear..." the wording implies someone else is checking for Jake. Should be "After quickly checking he... Jake went..." "After that, he experimented *some more* with his new Invocation skill before it was time to meditate and go over the knowledge he’d gained from the First Sage *once more*.After being fully recovered, Jake quickly checked in on the Soulflame Cradle and infused some more mana into it before he went back to experimenting with Invocation *once more*" Repetitive. Ditch one or two of these. "not long after the two of us *got invited to that dinner,*” Small thing but they didnt get invited they accepted an invitation. "if it’s one of the few people with a Divine Blessing or my *Chosen*," perhaps this is my misunderstanding but didnt the image of Artemis offer Jake the possibility of becoming her chosen when he while in nevermore implying she didnt currently have one? Might just have been old information for the image or as i said my misunderstanding. Then again this exchange might be talking about a hypothetical chosen. "how did *you come by Blessing Keerla*? " odd wording. Should be either "how did Keerla come by your blessing?" or "how did you come to bless Keerla?"
John
Oh Solana you sweet summer child, you aren't going to have to worry about impressing the vice-head druid for much longer.... his boss's boss's boss etc. is going to be trying to get in YOUR good books soon 😅
Ty Cooper
I have completely forgotten about that. Lol

If they find out Jake's date is Artemis I'm pretty sure those poor girls will faint on the spot
Carl Never
The first time i read PH the fight scenes were cool and i would go to bed dreaming of what my power set would be like. Now 16th time reading PH i cant wait to hear peoples thoughts, meet new characters, and laugh at the jokes with the comunity. Great stuff
Thenais
Bowie ? Bowette ? Bozer ?
Dan
Zogdaddy is setting everything up for the dragon hunt, I wonder if we're gonna see Jake's event horizon this month! I havent stopped thinking about it since he got the skill lmao
That one, right there.
Waiting till after the date when Artemis upgrades her blessing and tells her she had a good time on the date.
Hunter
Imagine if Villy pulls the same stunt and shows up as a waiter at dinner. Obviously won’t happen, but I could see Villy talking Idrasil into letting him gate crash Jake’s date.
The Ravenger
I’m looking forward the the date and really hope that they are found out would be hilarious.
Tyran
On one hand - bow On the other - dinner date Why am I for once more interested in the date?
Jabirttok
Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby. Don't you do it! Also zog is Danish I doubt the American holiday will interfere lol
Oblivion
I think there would be more build up for fighting a dragon. I think that will be towards the end of the next arc
Michael Best
Always love when Jake interacts with normal people, to me it’s so funny because we know him as a chill guy but everyone is scared of him
Ty Cooper
Well said!
Ty Cooper
!!!!!
Ty Cooper
They will probably get skills related to Jake somehow. Like the friends with Jake support group at the order. Going to find that hilarious especially when they take them. Jake getting tons of records from teaching skill. Jake is going to get a cult following sooner or later.
solomon pagan
To be honest I am looking forward to that disaster of a dinner a bit more than the bow I think it's gonna be hilarious
Tim Schillinger
What a tease! All the buildup for the dinner and now we're getting bow time. I love it :) Still looking forward to the dinner. Tyftc
Darshar Griffonmane
That dinner is going to be some sort of amazing event/disaster, even if it'll only be a chapter or two. And new bow! tyftc
Prospects
Bruh, don’t give him ideas
Lemonsqueezy
I think Divine - or something related to a god - is the likely tier after Mythical. It was probably the tier the potions Villy gave to Yggdrasil, Artemis, and NA.
Lemonsqueezy
TYFTC. I fully expect Villy, NA, or Yggdrasil to expose who Artemis is during this dinner, or for it to be exposed after the dinner. Villy would do it for the laughs. Keerla might even be able to sense her patron in a subtle way, and getting her blessing upgraded after the dinner will probably cause suspicion.
Zach Newman
Wooooooo new bow!!!!!
islandcastle11
TYFTC this one was good
Tilen Praprotnik
Thanks for the chapter
Cory Smith
With the holiday weekend and if I was a betting man, I’d say we won’t get the bow, date, or ritual until next week. Zog strikes again!
Starkly Glim
So there's tons of stories in the Greek and other mythology about gods secretly coming to dinner while pretending to be mortal. It usually revolves around how important it is to be a good host, and it would be kind of fantastic if that was somehow invoked at this dinner!
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!
Sylphie
REE!!
Carl Never
15 min in hes going to give her a light kiss and call her artemis after introducing her as shannon
Jordan Rogers
Just had a terrible premonition… Zogarth is gonna take us back to the moon with Arnold and sandy, and then something silly like with sylphie, and we won’t get the bow until Monday 😱
Jordan Rogers
She tells them he only eats mushrooms 🍄 😂
Samuel Nelson
Four, if you count the King.
Jordan Rogers
It’ll be cool cause maybe at dinner Jake will get to show the little bow maker his new bow, the best ever made, and she will get a to. Of records for encountering the pinnacle of her craft.
Nathan Holliday
I can’t wait to see this bow! Will we finally learn what comes after mythical tear? How busted of an enchantment will the new bow have? With it will Jake be able to one shot a B grade?
Jordan Rogers
So glad it’s not Friday 😅
Blutako
Are you sure it would be accidental? Jake would probably find it a little funny, but I can also see him asking Artemis to pass the salt using her name
Baged
"I need to ask my patron about that." "Can't you just ask her now?" "She doesn’t keep an eye on someone as small as me." "I think you’d be surprised."
Blutako
What if through some karmic connection or heretic skill when he evolves into B grade or simply a communication token they talk regularly like Jake and villy
Matt
The very first time we see from Artemis's POV she is working on a bow herself, odds are good she already has that part handled.
Chris
My guess is they will find out who Artemis is near the end of the date
Exaiter
where the only one listening in was that creep, Villy. “I Ah yes, the creep. The snakey top tier beeing in the universe, creep. 😂😂
Posiden 300
It will be sad when Artemis is out of the picture. She is such a fun character. Cant wait to see how Irene reacts to him next they meet.
Lynderyn
So, how long will it take for Jake to forget about the disguise and expose he brought a god to dinner with him?
Fyrtue
I think his bow might initially be incomplete. Like, he's got the peerless quality wood for it, but doesn't have the string (as Sylphie knows it is a string shooty stick after all). That's where Keerla and Solana come up huge and Jake casually ropes them into helping finish it. Artemis gets outed at dinner so she can assist and those poor people are out of their mind nervous as they get in way over their heads with the whole situation.
Kristoffer
That would be a safe choice
IntenseSushi

Sarianne
🤣 what do you mean "it has been mentioned" think i only saw 10 to 15 messages mentioning the Jake date thingy 😇
One Winged Angel
Keerla: "GREAT GODDESS ARTEMIS, THE CHOSEN OF THE MALEFIC VIPER IS COMING TO DINNER, WHAT SHOULD I DO???? WHAT SHOULD I SAY????" Artemis: "Make Mashed potatoes with lots of garlic and butter, and compliment his lady friend!"
MrEM4N
Never imagined when I started reading Primal Hunter that one of the most anticipated events id look forward to would be a dinner date but here we are.
Sarianne
I feel the same... almost every day 🤣 but that's why we're Patrons, isn't it, because we can't wait for the books to come out but have to have our loose of "the Primal Hunter" daily. 😇😅
BlackRazaras
Thanks for the chapter
Harbby

Lazy Dragon
I'm so excited for the shenanigans that will be the date. I really hope she prays to Artemis mid dinner so Artemis can smack Jake for being too silly.
Sarianne
And it's only Wednesday! Cya tomorrow 🥰
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth I’m loving this Pantheon Of Life Arc.
Rewdan
That would be absolutely hilarious 😆. Jake would have to pretend to like it and be given an extra bowl 🤣
Ty Cooper
Am I the only one who is hoping that this dinner is multiple chapters? I think it is going to be great and I am hoping for some PoVs from everyone. ALSO, so looking forward to this bow ritual finishing. Not sure if he will fight a dragon at the Pantheon of Life or elsewhere.
Boomer
You say that but I'm 100% sure there's a god out there that has part of their divine realm with millions of sticky notes and a stiff breeze comes by to clean them out every once and a while.
Daniel Brian
Especially being understanding of Jakes other...playmates. I don't know that I'd be ok with an open relationship in reality, but the concept has its appeal!
Devillelouch
I want Jörmungandr. The term "Jörmungandr" therefore has several possible meanings in connection with its mythology, such as: "the vast serpent", "the vast river" (a synonym for the sea where he dwells), "the vast staff or branch" (a connection to the world tree Yggdrasil), as well as "the vast bind" (the serpent's coiling around the world, biting its own tail, symbolising the world's circle of life). It is the being that kills a god, in Jormungandr's case it was Thor. The bow would be tied to Ygg, Viper, and Jake. It will match with Eternal Hunger in grasping the infinite. It also means "vast" which matches his path of claiming "vast" horizons. edit: Also it will become a snake bow. It will be so sexy to the bow to form by slithering down Jake's arm and then eating its own tail to form the bow. It feels like such a brain blast: Circle of the Life which is Artemis' path as a hunter and Natures Attendants focus for the PoL. Jörmungandr also symbolizes chaos and annihilation as a world Ender which is very much Jakes path.
Esch
Please Zog make the girls cook a "delicious mushroom soup" for the dinner date.
BumAssBumAss
Finally, new bow incoming. Seems like a weapon with the potential to grow with Jake based on assumptions. Starting rarity may be unique or mythical since gods are involved with the crafting process.
Chegs
Artemis to the girls: “Prepare him a pigs heart doused with Rainbowfeather songbird scent..i am told this is the Chosen’s favorite”
A. B. Edwards
It was nice to see how blessing and prayers work for a more normal God for once. Honestly Zogarth has one of the most natural takes on blessings and prayer in this chapter than any other story I have read. Its realistic and logical and if a real God existed it would likely be this way. It is always from the POV of the mortal praying but now we can see a bit of how a God deals with it. Glad its not the Bruce Almighty method.
Bloodshadow
The dragon gonna kick his ass first time around
Karim Saadi
This is just so funny, I love it. The whole arc has been great and I'm so looking forward to three big payoffs! Bow, dinner date and Jasper ritual! This and next week are gonna be great. Much love and many thanks Z <3

It would quite shenanigans if he names the new bow David. While most people would think it came from pre-system Earth legend(and with his path, he is almost always the underdog) people who know him would know it actually refers to "Bowie" David the singer.
Kt-x
Oooh! 😁 Thanks for the chapter!
Bruce Sheplan
LOL That would be totally jake. maybe just Bowie though, he usually doesnt use names with 2 words…
Maxime
appreciate the chapter, but i did notice a lot of Artemis' replies were described as chuckles.
Justin Reed
Anyone else read the last line like the Bojangles commercial? “It’s Bo time!”
Steven Tuttle
this ark has been super relaxed without much challenge thus far so i get a bad feeling something super destructive is about to happen idk what but i feel a change coming jake hasnt had to struggle with anything truly since he fucked up his stomach
William Rossi
Being all like ”this one is made of your patron and by your patron, cool right?”
Skelly Liebenstein
I wonder.. the bow being (kinda) alive like Bobobo... Would Jake give the bow the name "David Bowie"? Seems like a thing he'd do hahaha
SyndaXatrix
TFTC! It's bow time!!!!!!!
Jon Hanson
Think you mean date
Jon Hanson
First official Jake?
Stephen
That's actually possible lol
Shaibene
Artemis also left by quickly jumping to the gateway and using it to go blunder some more loot for his piles. Should be "plunder".
Fdrugc
Tftc I'm imagining Jake going on a hunt after getting the bow snd showing up for the date half dead
Stephen
I bet he accidentally let's it slip that it's Artemis in disguise.
Justin Moen
Bro stop.. don’t say that🥲😭
bioticisbasic
Tyftc!
Keldra
I can feel the Friday cliffhanger from here.
Namorat
Since the Jake date thing has been mentioned : "After quickly checking that Jake had some proper casual clothes to wear for the following week, he went down" - I honestly would switch Jake and he here because otherwise it sounds like a different person is meant.
Georgia Guy-Williams
Come on you've got to Jake a date
Abriel Blauer
Jake was looking forward to his first official Jake and was pleasantly surprised that Keerla answered so quickly --> Jake was looking forward to his first official date? and was pleasantly surprised that Keerla answered so quickly
Cory S.
TFTC. I’m excited about this dinner and the potential exposure of Artemis to the 2 hosts.
Auriel00

Thank you! official Jake and -> official date and
John Burton
Tyftc Edit: Jake was looking forward to his first official Jake Should be "date" not Jake
Fyrtue
Definitely told from Scarlet's POV.
Athena
tftc :) "to his first official Jake and" -> "to his first official date and" "using it to go blunder some more" -> "using it to go plunder some more"
brjenness
I could see Artemis and yggy coming up with a scheme to mess with Jake at the dinner date. Not like he doesn't deserve it.
Phoenixdrop
Oh boy super bow time
Azazel
The bow!!
Kyle Stitt
Bow time ='s hammer time ='s a good time!
KatHabit
I swear the Friday chapter better not end with them getting to the dinner party. Zogarth! That's to mean!
Justin Moen
Tyftc! Love this arc so much! Love the shear audacity of a C grade mortal courting a godqueen! Perfectly absurd for Jake! Can’t wait for it to leak! Poor Irin!
Shafan Knight
Woohoo! Bow time!
Azazel
You’re killing me. 🤦♂️
RnR_ RnR
Yes!!! Bow time!!!
Wimsey's daughter
Thanks for the chapter. I'm looking forward to the bow, even though I'm a bit sad that we'll most likely have to wait till next week for the dinner date
Tyler Clark
Ahhhhhhh!!! I love the details but I just want more!! Tyftc, can't wait for tomorrows!
Fdrugc
Tipo Jake was looking forward to his first official Jake Should be Jake was looking forward to his first official date
Abdulaziz ALRumaih
I can just imagine Jake showing off his bow at the dinner date

“Jake was looking forward to his first official Jake and…” Should be “his first official date and…”??
wyattmon
Its good that Jakes finally getting his first Jake, you'd think he'd have had one already but better late than never
Michael Fannon
They really are a pretty good couple aren't they?
Steven Thompsen
You also my man!!
Harry Aylott
‘Jake was looking forwards to his first official Jake’ should be ‘Jake was looking forwards to his first official date’
Strato Junon
"to go blunder some more loot for his piles" plunder. Not blunder
Zachary Koffink
"and using it to go blunder some more loot for his piles." Plunder more loot?
Loststar7
jumping to the gateway and using it to go -blunder- (plunder) some more loot for his piles.
Jabirttok
Also jasper went to blunder should be jasper went to plunder
Garand
Cute
